Rust Writer Adapting Archaia’s Rochester GN For Fox 2000

News broke on Monday that BOOM! Studios acquired fellow comic publisher Archaia Entertainment, a move that many saw as a great way for BOOM! to increase its intellectual property catalog for potential Hollywood ventures.

Interestingly enough, the same day Deadline announced just such a deal: Fox 2000 has acquired the rights from Archaia to adapt its upcoming retelling of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre called Rochester.

Devil Wears Prada and We Bought a Zoo screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna will adapt the graphic novel and also co-produce alongside Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past). McKenna’ as has also written another adaptation of an Archaia book, Royden Lepp’s Rust, which was picked up by Fox in 2011.
